last for a collection of presidential campaigns we are going into this razor- thin. what are you watching for early clues? >> >> simply ignore the exit polls. the exit polls in 2004 it showed a massive landslide for john kerry of which of course did not happen. it will be very very small sample. more important is where our voting problems happening? virginia has a lot of people in line. the philadelphia suburbs are experiencing problems with people finding out they're not on deep voter rolls.

>> you mentioned virginia and that is an early poll closing battleground state. is that one of the state's you are watching? >> virginia you will have to watch slow leak. it comes in from the south and goes north. when you come in from the south and go north romney will have the eventful league. if obama wins by 5560% in all probability he will win the state. it is going to be a long night. >> you can follow michael yaqui at michael yankee .com. >> live and san francisco is

healthy lead. northern virginia is still yet to come and and there's so voting in northern virginia. this could be a long night. floor that is so close -- florida we're trying to figure out which counties are outstanding because that could make a difference. if i'm a democrat or republican thinking about 2016 i am definitely thinking having a latino to as the president or vice presidential candidate and they could be the difference and this campaign. >> a factor will allow people already know but if obama wins ohio history is on his side. no republican has won the white house without winning ohio. >> why the county is is traditionally determine which way those he has it obama has a slight lead there.

>> it is getting interesting. >> and san francisco i am at the democratic headquarters and you can see all the people all the volunteers who showed up to put in their hand. i will go inside because inside this room we are talking about hundreds of people who are at this location. i said what are you doing? they said we're making phone calls and we're not calling people in the state of california. we're calling the swing states to try and talk them into voting for brock obama. many of these people have not only been here today but all week and all month and they say that in the last couple of hours a lot of people are telling them we already voted. nevertheless they will be here till 9:00 this evening making phone calls.

the red with a hundred and 4 electoral college votes with president obama as 124. those numbers are expected to change very very sound. we were just informed that cnn and our affiliates in florida say that 7 million votes have been cast and governor romney leaves by fewer than 1000 votes. how about a hundred votes is what governor romney is leading about. it is still way too close to call florida and a swing state of new jet virginia and new hampshire as well. we'll be back with more right after this.

some of we just got a new state pennsylvania has gone

blue to obama. 20 electoral college votes go to president obama bringing him to 144. still trailing mitt romney 2 has won 54. pennsylvania traditionally a blue state but governor romney and his camp that they could make some ground there. he was even and the ground state today. it goes to president obama. let's take a quick look because the situation right there has just been updated as well. president obama trailing in the popular vote 49% to mitt romney is 51%. that is where we stand 22 percent of precincts reporting here. we will continue to update the popular vote and electoral college. we would check and for the reaction and pennsylvania and other key states. >> i always thought that

pennsylvania was a question of run these people had to much money to spend. they pulled a lot of ads because of hurricane sandy. they tried hail mary there and that they had a favorable infrastructure in terms of the republican government. they probably thought they get somewhere but once again when the tail en floor that is getting very very interesting -- florida >> that is crazy. >> the number it that president bush apparently won florida by it and 2008. 527 as a number that robs a lot of democrats wrong. it looks as if the president

has taken a 10,000 boat lead in florida. two interesting things is where the republicans held their convention. they held the there because they wanted to win hillsborough. the president is winning hillsborough county not by much but i just enough. again are the tampa bay region president obama is winning back as well. >> just a background and florida with 29 electoral votes so that is the biggest prize in the battleground thamap. >> i think that the october surprise, what does or and have they have hurricanes. also latino voters. those two things combined romney's you on deportation and hand

hurricane sandy maybe the tipping factors in florida. both campaigns left florida and basically stayed in the midwest for a last two or three days of the campaign. that's without was going to really be fought. it will be very interesting that the president pulls out fla. he does not need virginia. he does not need wisconsin. he wins basically. if he pulls out there will be a lot of people and the republican party getting themselves and had wondering how did we lose florida. they thought they had won florida. there are probably thinking >> they're probably thinking my god is days of the with legal challenges. >> it could happen. >> we'll be back with michael gawky and a bit. -- michael e. hochtief >>

showing up today. it is unfortunate but people need to comment on their vote polling place and vote. >> so a steady stream but not the numbers we saw on 2008? >> no. maybe not even the numbers we saw in 2004. 2008 was kind of special because 80 percent of my voters can show what which was phenomenal. i am hoping to break 80. >> what happens, we find out the numbers of some of the measures that people really are paying attention to. >> right at 8:00. if i cannot see them no one gets to see them. at 8:00 we will go in and finalize our tally and we will have numbers and post them on our web site and sent to sacramento. that will be the earlier vote by mail ballot. we still have

some of saturday mail, monday and tuesday's mail. we can i get to those for about a week. we want the same results out of this county until about 1:00 you were saying? >> they're finalized for today so for the stuff at that we counted maybe 80 percent of the total. i am hoping that by midnight but i'm guessing 1:00. >> thank you very much for joining us and we will be out here throughout the evening. we will go back to in the studios. >> thank you an update on the election we returned from the break. stay with us.

now. in ohio which is traditionally a conservative area the president is outperforming what he did in 2008 and that is not good news for the romney camp. to when you look at how the senate is breaking will be very interesting. it is a good night for the democrats there's a pickup in massachusetts and wisconsin. i think choice is a big issue in this campaign. florida as villanelle lighter and virginia the polls are still open. >> we will be back with you and a little bit. >> every minder the polls in california are still open until 8:00 tonight and you still have time to cast your votes. the extended election coverage begins at 9:00. you can stay up-to-date with the latest results on our web
